lol. "Creating the narrative"? What the hell are you talking about? Perhaps people here are just genuinely super stoked for the game. What do you have to say about the extremely high YouTube views? Or about the insider who revealed that preview numbers are tracking ahead of God of War? What about the VERY positive previews and industry people who are clearly hyped? And about the impressive popularity of Spider-Man movies, comics, etc. in the mainstream?

Honestly, I think your main problem with the game is that it's not on Xbox.

People on Era are wishing with every fiber of their being that this game flops. Too bad, Benji already told us the game's pre-orders are tracking faster than even God of War. This game is about to sell dumb copies.

Hype is below zero.

Cant say I am a huge spiderman fan. If it turns out great I might pick up a used copy when the price has dropped a lot.

I really want to play this but for once there are multiple titles I want to play this holiday season plus im in the middle of my Kingdom Hearts re-run playthrough before 3 so sacrifices are going to have to be made. I love you Spidey, but i'm going to have to pick you up in 6 months during a PSN sale.

What is it with people downplaying this game? Spiderman is one of the most popular, if not the most popular superhero right now and has been for decades and Sony is on a commercial and critical streak right now with their exclusives.
There are a lot of Spiderman fans that own PS4s. It's going to sell no matter what.

You don't have to like it, but don't delude yourself. You just end up looking dumb.

And I think you're main "problem" with the game...is that it's only on PS4, if you catch my drift? Get a grip.

Nah, I don't really have any interest in the property so it's unlikely I'll pick it up but I may grab it used next year if the response here is through the roof.

I still think it's really neat that fans of the franchise are getting something that seems like it'll be really solid. It's my understanding that that's a major rarity for these types of games.

I have about $1000 worth of spider-man comics in graphic novel form on a shelf (including the first big arc about Mister Negative), I get annoyed when I read OP titles that can't spell character right and Insomniac's Sunset Overdrive is my favorite game of this generation so far, because they nailed the traversal so perfectly (well, and because Stephanie Lemelin's voice acting kick's major ass).

Yet, zero hype for this.
My hype levels were ultra high before E3 2017. I think the QTE showing in 2017 and the dark, scripted chase scene they showed this year weren't for me. The swinging animations look completely awesome, but because spidey's moves look so cool, they will be very repetitive from what I can tell. I also don't trust Insomniac to nail a Batman-esque or better combat system.

Lastly, my backlog of really good games is long. So long, I haven't even played Uncharted 4 after buying it 2 years ago and UC2 being my favorite game of last gen.

I'm super hyped for it - since I finished God of War I've been wanting another action game with story and this should fit nicely! Plus I love Insomniac!

Your posts don't even make sense. I don't have a problem with the game. I'm super excited for it. You're the one who clearly has a problem with Spider-Man. I also own and enjoy lots of Xbox One games. So exclusivity is irrelevant to me.

You seem to spend a lot of time on this forum attacking the PS4 and its excellent exclusive games. When I see your name, I know there's a good chance you will be trashing something PS4-related despite its huge commercial success and renowned exclusives.

How about you get a grip? This is the second thread I've seen you talking about having a problem with Spider-Man being mentioned with RDR2 as if it's a small game, imagine having a problem with that.

It was preordered the moment "a kid from Queens" was uttered in that reveal trailer.

Trying to secure a 4K/HDR set before it drops. Might even go OLED for it.

Well, that's the thing. I don't think we do know tons of people are hype for Spider-man. Its just keeps getting mentioned in the same breath as games like Red Dead 2 in the Era bubble...for some reason. There seems to be more interest in creating the narrative that people are hyped for Spider-man, than actual hype.

lol what the hell is this?

Hyped as hell. Probably won't be playing right at launch, unless I manage to finish Kiwami 2 in a week, but Spidey is preordered. I'm starting Spidey as soon as I finish that. Was contemplating playing Dragon Quest first too but Spidey will be a lot harder to avoid spoilers for

Only played Ratchet PS4 from this dev so not sure what you're talking about.
You'll have to live up to Neversoft but I already pre-ordered this from the US store (why doesn't Sony offer 59.99 standard editions anymore in EU btw?).

edit: Forgot Quest for Booty, the best one ever. :P

Spider-Man has been my favorite super hero since I was born and after arkham city came out i couldn't stop thinking about a Spider-Man game in the same style. This game looks to be just that so I'm hyped beyond belief

Super hyped but I'm hyped about DQXI and Shadow of the Tomb Raider as well. I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to deal with these three at the same time lol.

Hyped, but also confused on where to allocate my time. The next semester of classes is gonna be wild for me, so time is already limited and here we have DQXI and Spider-Man coming out in a span of mere days of each other.

More than anything though, I just want to be charged for them and get it over with. Spending $300+ between two games is gonna be a bit of a hit, so I'd rather get it over with sooner than later.
